<I.Either way, the claims you make are very easy to counter. The EIC is hardly rocket science. The information is there, in black and white. It tells a very different story than your claims, despite your claims of expertise. The EIC is not rocket science. But you seem very confused about what it does and doesn't do. A married couple with one child who made $9000 BETWEEN THEM can qualify for a refundable credit of $3,050. A couple can easily make that by working a couple months out of the year. And they can collect Medicaid benefits and unemployment benefits and receive food stamps the rest of the year. While EITC used to be heavily abused, 20 years ago, today it is much less of a problem. Due in large part to the fact you don't even have to have a qualifying child living with you (the vast majority of abuse was in claiming qualifying children who were not qualifying). I make no assertion that they should not receive some benefits. While you liberal nitwits HOWLED at the Bush Part D benefit not being "paid for", Obama's unemployment extension, benefiting far fewer people, costs about what Part D does for a year. If you're so f*cking smart why can't you figure out our country cannot afford to keep paying people to sit on their asses?
